MUZAFFARNAGAR: The family of a 25-year-old army personnel from UP’s Sisauli town in Muzaffarnagar is drowned in despair as the jawan, who was taking part in kanwar yatra, was killed as two groups of kanwarias clashed near Roorkee in Uttarakhand on Tuesday. Kartik Chaudhary, a jawan commissioned in the Corps of Electronics and Mechanical Engineers (EME), succumbed to his injuries on the way to hospital, said officials.
He was posted at Jamnagar in Gujarat and was on leave to participate in kanwar yatra. "Kartik participated in kanwar yatra in 2019 and it is mandatory to take part a second time also if one has done it once. So, he wanted to fulfil this promise,” said Mukul Chaudhary, Kartik’s younger brother. "We were looking for a bride for him. The plan was to get him married this winter,” added Mukul.
